    Anybody but Obama. We are worse off today than we were 4 years ago. Obama has succeeded at at exactly zero.

    They each get to be the god of their own planet when they get to the afterlife (yes, that is what they believe). It rubs some of them a little weirdly...

    Its all they have. Substance might as well be from outer space for leftists.

    People voted for Obama aginst the advice of MLK to assess character first and color second. In 2008 color came first, in 2012 character will take its lofty perch and honor MLK because he was right.

    When are the delusional cons going to give up this stupid assertation that libs are afraid of ANYTHING cons have been putting up as opposition to Obama? We've supposedly been 'afraid' of Palin, Trump, Cain, Bachmann, all of which have been dumped into the dust bin of US political history, by themselves!

    When libs trade in their false bravado for some real confidence in Obama and his goofy liberal ideas I will stop calling them afraid of their own shadows.

    They know that a majority of the public does not think the way Obama does so no way do they what the election to be about ideas.

    The context was... he doesn't care, proven by the fact he fully supports the safety net destroying Ryan Plan.

    Absolutely. I simply have to side with the lesser of 2 evils as I see them. I'd be a republican if they were better than Dems.

    Yes and all of Obama mistatements will be put under the rug by the same people that will amplify any mistatement by Romney or any Republican but Romney knows this and seemingly can not stop saying such things. If anyone is unelectable I fear it is Romney!

    Will he attempt to run to the left of Obama if he wins the Republican Nomination like he did against Kennedy? You can say surely he won't but no one really knows but Romney. Plus Romney is a liberal republican, has always been and likely never change.

    Only thing that can save the Republicans now is that Obama is unelectable but what happens when you have two unelectable people running???

    I said the very poor pay no income tax. You said I was both stupid and incorrect. Since in your imagination only, you are smart, please tell me how much income tax those with no ordinary incomes pay. Having never been on welfare, I have no clue what the tax rate on welfare income happens to be. Enlighten me Oh semi learned one.

    And since 51% of actual wages earners, the bottom 51%, got tax returns equaling 100% of their withholding, what is their effective tax rate?

    And if you care to go to IRS.gov and look it up. 26 million of the lowest INCOME EARNERS got all their withholding returned and received $59 billion dollars in EITC rebates. An average of $2,269.23 each. Making an effective tax rate somewhere below 0%.

    The poor pay taxes every time they buy something. I'm sure most would like to be above the poverty level again and even so to enable a cheap tax rate like Romney's.

    Romney is a Republican. Since when have Republicans ever cared about poor people?
    The conservatives over here don't give a toss about poor people either. Its each to their own.

    What he says and what he means are miles apart. He supports the Ryan Plan that wipes out safety nets.

    Maybe they care more about the poor than you do.

    Conservatives have a higher opinion of the poor by believing they can do better than they are except for the interference of wipe-every-nose lib do-gooders.

    When you coddle the poor and reward failure you get more of the same.

    It may be too late to save adult Obama voters who are set in their ways but each new generation offers new hope.

    Oh well.

    Talking to libs is like talking to a wall.

    They never listen.

    I hold conservatives to the same standard. What you presented wasn't the full context.
